Natural Building Techniques

This weekend workshop will be taught by civil engineer Mike Saunders who has hands-on experience in building his own natural home on a farm near Uniondale.

The “natural” in natural materials implies that the materials have not been processed industrially and have retained their essential nature.

Natural building uses available geological and biological materials. Geological materials are borrowed from the earth and will eventually return to the earth. Biological materials are pulled out of their life-cycle and susceptible to temperature, moisture, bacteria and fungus.

This workshop will be taught over two days…….comprisinng roughly of 20% theory and 80% practical.
